THE CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE 1

I Thessalonians 5:17-22 Pray without ceasing. (18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (19) Quench not the Spirit. (20) Despise not prophesyings. (21) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (22) Abstain from all appearance of evil. Introduction: We hear a lot today about lifestyles. We are told that we should be tolerant of other cultures. I think it is important for us to learn more about the style of life we should be living. It is easy to be caught up in current trends and one of the current trends is not to offend anyone no matter how much they stray from the teachings of God. Recently it seems that every culture and lifestyle is acceptable except the Christian Lifestyle. Customs might change. Society certainly changes and the things that are accepted in public seem to change with time. One thing that does not change is God's Word. The whole world will pass away and none of it will change. The next few devotionals are going to be dealing with the Christian lifestyle. I hope you receive a blessing from them. Please feel free to contact me by email at shilohkosciusko@gmail.com with questions, comments or even suggestions for further devotional studies. If you know of someone new to the Kosciusko area and would like for our church to visit them please let us know. Our prayers are that this devotional ministry will be an outreach to bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus. I do appreciate you taking the time to read these devotionals and please keep us in your prayers.
